Job Specifications
Cyber Security Engineer, IT & Automation (Python OO)
New York City (Hybrid) - 3 days a week in a NYC office
We’re looking for a Cyber Security Engineer who lives at the intersection of IT, security tooling, and real Python development. Someone who doesn’t just deploy tools, but bends them to their will. If you enjoy automating security workflows, building internal tools, and making IT security actually scale, keep reading.
What you’ll do
Write Python to automate security operations, integrations, and workflows
Build and maintain internal security tooling (not just configure vendors)
Integrate and extend platforms like SIEM, SOAR, endpoint, and identity tools
Partner closely with IT, infrastructure, and engineering teams
Improve detection, response, and operational efficiency through code
This role faces real problems, real scale, real impact.
What we’re looking for
Strong Python experience (automation, APIs, internal tools)
Background in IT-focused security (endpoint, identity, infrastructure, tooling)
Experience with security platforms like SIEM, SOAR, EDR, IAM, or MDM
Comfort working in production environments with real stakes
An engineer’s mindset, curious, pragmatic, and allergic to manual work
Bonus points if you’ve worn more than one hat (systems, SRE, platform, security).
Why this role is different
Hybrid NYC role with real ownership and autonomy
High-trust environment, you build it, you run it
Security treated as an engineering function, not a compliance exercise
Smart peers, modern tooling, and leadership that actually listens
